A lot of people think culture is something candidates assess during the interview process. Actually candidates are assessing the constant culture signals your startup puts out.

Recently, I wrote up an entire newsletter issue about words. It’s for early-stage startup founders, and takes you step-by-step through a wording exercise. You can read it for free here: l.linklyhq.com/l/1Xqg8 If you know a founder who might benefit, please share it with them.

Being a founder means you do a lot of storytelling. You’re talking to investors, networking and rallying your team. Every time you talk, you’re crafting your startup culture.

I learnt over 16 years as a co-founder: Be intentional and consistent with your company culture. This leads to stability, success and solid culture foundations. Learn how to define and share your startup culture. l.linklyhq.com/l/1XA1Q
